Zendala Fun

When I went to the CZT training last year one of the things we did was tangle a pre-strung Zendala (Mandala + Zentangle).  I loved that first one I did, something about repeating the patterns in various sections really appealed to me, and also the shape of the Zendala, round.

So the other day  I decided to draw my own string onto a blank Zendala and tangle it.  I went very plain, I just used various sized circles.  And then also decided I wanted to use some colour so I took my blue micron and this was the result after some shading:

Afterglo, Inapod, Barberpole, Birds on a Wire, Knase

It took me a whole day to decide whether to add shading or not, I loved the clean crisp blue, black and white look but I know that shading does add such lovely depth.  Then another CZT suggested I use a blue pencil crayon to shade the blue tangles and a normal graphite pencil to shade the black tangles, and that's what I did.

I hope you like it!
